Ingredients

• * FRITTERS
• * 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• * 1/2 cups Sugar
• * 3 Tablespoons Sugar
• * 2-1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• * 1-1/4 teaspoon Salt
• * 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• * 2 whole Large Eggs
• * 3/4 cups Whole Milk
• * 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• * 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
• * 2 whole Granny Smith Apples, Peeled And Diced
• * Powdered Sugar (optional, For Dusting)
• * GLAZE (optional)
• * 1-1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
• * 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• * 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla
• * 1/4 cups Milk

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.

3. Gently fold dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not overmix.) Fold in apples. Add enough apples to make a very chunky batter. You want the apples to shine though!

4. Heat a couple of inches of canola oil over medium to medium-low heat. When it gets hot, drop a little drop of batter into the oil. If it sizzles immediately and rises to the top, the oil is ready; if it burns quickly, turn down the heat.

5. Drop teaspoons of batter into the hot oil, six or eight at a time. Sometimes they’ll flip over by themselves; sometimes you have to flip them. Just watch them and make sure they don’t get too brown, but cook them long enough to make sure the batter’s cooked through, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes total.

6. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Dust very generously with powdered sugar, or dip fritters in a light doughnut glaze (mix all glaze ingredients together, then dunk warm fritters).

7. Serve warm!
